Question on dies for 22 creedmoor

Currently not at the bench but I have a problem with a redding full length 6creedmoor sizing die I been using. Question is, can I use another 6 creedmoor sizing die I have to size the body and a 22-250 (rcbs) neck sizer to size the neck of my 22 creedmoor case just to get me by ? I know the creedmoor is was less tapered at the shoulder than the 22-250. Thanks dudes

I know this is not what you asked, but what is the problem you are having with your current sizing die?

The only thing I can think of that may be a problem with the method you are thinking about is that there will be a small section of brass on the shoulder that won't be touched by either of those two dies, so it may not get pushed back.
I think it will also be dependent on how "open" the 22-250 die is, because there is a pretty significant difference in diameter just below the shoulder on those two cartridges (22 Creed vs 22-250).

The shoulder is rounded, well the flat between the body shoulder junction and the neck shoulder junction is rounded My fired brass dimensions is ok but when I size them they come out rounded. Redding messed up cutting the die
 
Answered my own question this evening. A creedmoor case will not even think about starting in a 22/250 rcbs neck only die
